Editor’s note: This letter is in response to the letter, “Trump is a cult leader,” published Dec. 30, 2020.

POTUS 45 Derangement Syndrome manifests itself in many ways. The inability of partisans to recognize their guy is no better but is aided by a press fighting for its life.

We welcomed what was brought to the table but recognize it is now time to hunker down and attempt to weather what is going to be an assault on the sensibilities of those who love this country. There will be a new messenger arising from the ashes of a questionable defeat. One more seasoned in the ways of the beltway but able to recognize the passions aroused by the hope of a draining of the swamp. Good governance does not mean one needs to be supported by those unable to reason.
